Unmasking the Mess

Hey, I’m Julie.

Hey, I’m Julie.

For most of my life, I let words like hopeless, frustrated, and uninspired define me and hold me back from being who God made me to be. But now, thanks to personal and spiritual growth, I’m on the path of God’s purpose and plan for me. And now I’m passionate about empowering other women to rise above their mess and step into the abundant future God has for them.

Instagram post 2182269504200216100_1579412257 God wants to pour out blessings on us, did you realize this? A few weeks ago, I said yes to something scary for me.😕 As someone who has dealt with extreme fear, speaking in front of people would be the last place I’d want to be.🥺 Honestly, I’d rather sit in the back of the room. But the truth is, I want to be “all in” for God and to me that means doing things out of my comfort zone when He puts something in my path.🙌 I’d be lying if I said when I was asked I said, “yes” right away. I went home, mulled over it for a few weeks and accepted. I’d also be lying if doubt, fear, and anxiety haven’t been active lately as the day approaches.😒 Here’s the thing: do I want God to work in my life? Do I want to serve Him only when it’s within my comfort zone? Do I want to experience the blessings that come from being sold out for God? I want it all so that means getting over myself and allowing Him to show up in big ways.🤩 (And boy have I been preaching to myself that I need to get over myself.. it’s about God, not me). So today, I’m not sure how this speaking engagement will go but I am certain, God will show up.🙌 Friend, what is God asking you to say yes to?? Make it about Him.... He’ll show up in great big ways if you allow your faith to be greater than your fear! #leavingcomfortzone #showup
Instagram post 2180959948782204536_1579412257 I’m being reminded lately that life becomes how we look at it!🤩 For instance, I can be disappointed about the cold and the snow or I can feel blessed that I get to experience seasons because many around the world miss it.💜 I can look at the hard struggles and realize that they have grown me more than any class or workshop I’ve taken.✅ It’s really about the focus.🤓 Will I focus on what good is happening or what is lacking in my life?!? As I was driving to La Crosse today, I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful everything looked snow-covered. Try it, look at the blessings and everything you’re grateful for in your life and the problems get smaller.🙌 Have you noticed that in your life? #grateful #refocus #unmaskingthemess
Instagram post 2177915775678249850_1579412257 3 random things about me: I’m left-handed My kids are more techy than me🤓 I once got stepped on in the head by a horse, thus my fear of horses🐴 Tell me 3 random things about you?!?!😘 #fridayintroductions #gladtomeetyou
Instagram post 2177141654396712368_1579412257 My walk today got me thinking.... You know how when you’re going through a struggle all you can see and feel is all that’s hard?!? I’m too tired and weary... I give up too easily... Why is this happening to me?!? Why don’t other people have it this hard?!? I’m fearful! We see what we want to see... and honestly our sight and feelings can lie. I spent some time in 2 King’s 6:8-23 today. The servant of the man of God saw the army with horses and chariots surrounding him. He was afraid of what his eyes and feelings were telling him. Elisha asked God to open his eyes. With new sight he saw the Lord’s massive army which was bigger, stronger, and greater than the human army surrounding him. What if during our most fearful moments, we asked God to open our eyes and see what He sees. God shows up we just have to choose to see!
Instagram post 2176552457411507747_1579412257 I did something scary for me two weeks ago... I was asked to share my story and after wavering back and forth about it for a few weeks, I said yes! It might not sound like a big deal but for this girl, it’s huge!💪🏿 I remember the days of needing to sit by exits, avoiding crowds of people, and feeling so anxious that I didn’t drive for close to a year and after that, I white-knuckled the steering wheel! All my credit comes from the One working within me.🙌 Honestly, I’m nervous but I know I can’t not share what God has done in my life.🤩 He can bring us through whatever we are going through! #overcomer #mystory

Instagram post 2171984429667596121_1579412257 Did you know that the chemicals in plastics can hurt our bodies? They can disrupt hormones and other bodily systems. (I’ll share more in my stories today... so check it out)🤓 Scientists are still unclear about what effects they have on our health but they do know that marine animals in particular are being harmed in great ways by plastics.🥺 I wanted to share one thing we did in our home to reduce our exposure to plastics. ✅We replaced all plastic cups and containers with glass. I store my leftovers in glass also! Can I just say, Mason jars are super inexpensive to use as drink ware!🤩 For those of you worried about broken glasses with kids, I’m the only one that has broken one!😜 It wasn’t an overnight thing either...I slowly began replacing them as I had the extra money. Did you know the effects of plastics on our health?? #healthjourney #sustainablity
Instagram post 2171264635360261348_1579412257 How does the word dependent make you feel? 😒If you’re like me, it feels kind of icky. Our culture is championing self-reliance from an early age. 🤱As a new mom, did you hear from others telling you to “put your baby down so you didn’t spoil her. She’ll become too dependent on you.” 💪🏿So we are in the rush to be all sufficient. We don’t need anyone else. And so we’re a culture in finding dependence in material things. Drugs, alcohol etc. 💜Here’s the thing: we have been made with a longing that only God can fill. You can’t shove things into a God-hole...it won’t work. God wants us to rely on Him because all other things are like shifting sand. God wants us to build our lives on Him, the Solid Rock! I’m sharing some thoughts on my blog today... head on over!🥰 #unmaskingthemess #faith
Instagram post 2170571188211176283_1579412257 Did you see my stories about this gadget I just got a few weeks ago! Watch my story now😌 It works in the same fashion that a Fitbit or Apple Watch works. It reads frequency in our bodies and then suggests products to raise that frequency! Essential oils have a frequency (they all differ) and they can raise our frequency! Idaho Blue Spruce and Rose are some of the highest!🤯 I was a little skeptical when I got it but it was right after 3 family members were dealing with bronchitis. All of their reports said they needed immune support.🤯 Something hard happened to me a few weeks ago and Acceptance, Forgiveness and Valor Essential Oils were pulled up on my report!🤯 I use this monthly to see what I should place in my personalized wellness box! Have you ever had an ITOVi scan? #itoviscan #itovi
Instagram post 2168576480131886980_1579412257 Why do we many times think we cant rise above the struggles in our lives? Who tells us this?!? It’s the voice of the Liar who tells us we will never be more than the struggle holding us down! Gosh, if you would have told me that I’d feel this good a year ago, I’d have laughed at you. I’m sleeping great every night and my anxiety and depression is non-existent! When we trust and start to believe our lives can change, they begin to change! We begin to grow and watch out world! Thanking God daily for new chances and the ability to dream again! #dreaming #yleo
